Big Bird, a rare, fine brand
Taking off to air from land
Flapping her wings in midair
She soared, into despair.
We waited in your nest
But you vanished from the rest
Drowning hearts amid tears
Birthing panic, pain and fears.
What happened to you Big Bird?
Your voyage got so weird!
We awaited your return,
But our hopes, time has burned!
Two hundred and thirty-nine
Burning candles ceased to shine
Times like this I ask, "God WHY?"
As hearts and souls, melt and cry!*
